June 17th 2016

SIA will re-route the Incheon connection to a Singapore-Incheon-Los Angeles service, which will result in double daily flights to LA with the other service operating via Narita. The Singapore flag carrier will maintain its daily Singapore-Hong Kong-San Francisco B777-300ER route.
"Our customers have been asking us to offer more U.S. services and we are pleased to be able to do so. With new non-stop San Francisco flights and the increase in frequency to Los Angeles, customers will have two flights to choose from each day to both of these popular U.S. west coast destinations," said SIA's senior vice-president of marketing and planning, Lee Wen Fen.
SIA plans to resume nonstop services from Singapore to Los Angeles and New York with the arrival of seven A350-900ULRs from 2018.
Meanwhile, SIA will suspend services to Sao Paulo from October 20 due to the "sustained weak performance of the route". It flies three times a week to Sao Paulo via Barcelona. Services between Singapore and Barcelona will continue.
